WCF Services In Background

I'm trying to figure out how to run WCF Services as background Windows Services.

So far, in all the examples I've seen, for either a REST-WCF Web Service Host or a Duplex WCF Service Host, they end up running a small console that starts up the interface/service and waits for it to be closed.

How can I install the services and have them both running in the background?

I've seen this done with a normal service, it creates a few files: ServiceInstaller, ProjectInstaller.cs, etc.

Best How To :

TLDR;

Here is how I do this, I have a Program class that allows me to start my application either as Windows Service (for production) or as a Console Application (for debugging and easy testing)

You can't do this: string.Contains(string array) Instead you have to rewrite that line of code to this: if (file == null || formats.Any(f => file.Contains(f))) And this can be shortened down to: if (file == null || formats.Any(file.Contains)) ...

Callbacks are independent as they're invoked on the thread-pools IO completion workers. If you're interested, you can see that in the source code. This particular method is for the Socket class (which TcpClient and UdpClient use internally), where overlapped IO is used to invoke the callback (see the comment on...

You can use a StringFormat in your binding, like so: <TextBox Text="{Binding ItemName, StringFormat={}Item: {0}}"/> That being said, it may cause some unexpected behavior when editing. For example, if the user edits only the item name (excluding the 'Item:' text), then when the TextBox loses focus, the string format will...

If you don't specify a database name then the connection will use the default database for the user, in this case it's integrated security so it's your Windows login. As you likely have full system admin on the server the default database will be master so you will find all...

You can implement your OptionalPhoneAttribute based on the original PhoneAttribute: public sealed class OptionalPhoneAttribute : ValidationAttribute { public override bool IsValid(object value) { var phone = new PhoneAttribute(); //return true when the value is null or empty //return original IsValid value only when value is not null or empty return...

When connecting to a MySQL-Database I always used the MySQL Connector you can get here: https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/net/6.9.html You have to import the MySQL namespaces to your project and then you can use the MySQLConnection instead of the SQLConnection that is, as far as I know, only for MSSQL servers. http://www.codeproject.com/Tips/423233/How-to-Connect-to-MySQL-Using-Csharp...

If you're happy to convert it into LINQ to XML, it's really simple: XDocument original = ...; // However you load the original document // Separated out for clarity - could be inlined, of course string xpath = "//Person[not(PersonID = following::Person/PersonID)]" XDocument people = new XDocument( new XElement("Persons", original.XPathSelectElements(xpath) )...

I believe you need to use: SendKeys.SendWait("^(s)"); Instead of: SendKeys.SendWait("^%s?"); Have a look at https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.sendkeys.send(v=vs.110).aspx for more information....

I have idea for your problem . U can write c# console app and then call it from nodejs . U can look this url Execute an exe file using node.js . after c# job writes all data to database, u can look to the this table read from it...

You are executing an asynchronous method. This means that any exceptions will be thrown when you call await on the returned task or when you try to retrieve the results using await myTask; You never do so, which means that the exception is thrown and caught higher up your call...

If you know the type at startup, you could just derive the class: public class UserLogin : GenericLogin<ABC01_REGISTERED_USER> { } Then use that class all along. Else, you have to supply the type name every time, since else it can't know that you want to use that type every time....

Is "User Info" and "Course Data" is a different entity. If it is so, I think you may encapsulate them in one entity. XmlTextWriter writer = new XmlTextWriter(path, System.Text.Encoding.UTF8); writer.WriteStartDocument(true); writer.Formatting = Formatting.Indented; writer.Indentation = 4; writer.WriteStartElement("My Entity"); /* It is a biggest one*/ writer.WriteStartElement("User Info"); writer.WriteStartElement("Name"); writer.WriteString(userName); writer.WriteEndElement(); writer.WriteStartElement("Tutor...

The problem is you're trying to enable or disable the button when checking individual textboxes and they're conflicting with each other, instead the logic needs to be at a higher level. Change your textbox validation function to return a bool, and use that in ValidateAll to determine whether or not...

Instead of using ordinary foreach statement in doing your search, you should use parallel linq. Parallel linq combines the simplicity and readability of LINQ syntax with the power of parallel programming. Just like code that targets the Task Parallel Library. This will shield you from low level thread manipulation and...

The module- and application pipelines are explained in detail in the wiki. It's basically hooks which are executed before and after route execution on a global (application pipelines) and per-module basis. Here's an example: If a route is resolved to a module called FooModule, the pipelines will be invoked as...

There are several domain providers like: godaddy, name etc you can use to buy a domain name. These providers also provide you steps to map the domain name to your website. Check out this link for example. This link explains domain name configuration in details.

The targeted .NET version is the only version that the app will depend upon by default. Visual Studio will not automatically add higher and backwards compatible releases. Do this manually by adding other .NET versions to a configuration file: On the Visual Studio menu bar: Choose Project; Add New Item;...

Change this: [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.ByValTStr, SizeConst = 36)] private string iu; to this: [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPStr)] private string iu; Note that this code is good only to pass a string in the C#->C++ direction. For the opposite direction (C++->C#) it is more complex, because C# can't easily deallocate C++ allocated memory. Other important thing:...

What happens if you change all of the filters to use 'LIKE': if (DropDownList1.SelectedValue.ToString().Equals("Start")) { FilterExpression = string.Format("Start LIKE '{0}%'", TextBox1.Text); } Then, you're not matching against an exact date (at midnight), but matching any date-times which start with that date. Update Or perhaps you could try this... if (DropDownList1.SelectedValue.ToString().Equals("Start"))...

You try to add all your 52 parameter and their values with one AddWithValue method. You can't do that. First of all, you need to define all your parameters in your command with your column names like; command.CommandText = "INSERT INTO tb_mitarbeiter (Vorname, id, projectnummber....) VALUES (?name, ?id, ?projektnummer....)"; Then...

If you declare a Style without an x:Key, it will override the default style for that control. <Style TargetType="local:CustomControl"> So the code above will effect all CustomControl elements throughout the entire application (or within the scope). If you do not want to override the base style, you can give your...

The compiler sees the T2 and T identifiers and helpfully informs you that those types seem unrelated. That's absolutely correct, as they have no relation: there are no generic constraints that would assert any relations between them (I'm not saying that would be useful here though :) ). Whether this...

Yep, you need to do the adding within the loop. I'd use a List<string> as it supports LINQ: XmlNodeList skillNameNodeList=SkillXML.GetElementsByTagName("name"); List<string> skills = new List<string>(); foreach (XmlNode skillNameNode in skillNameNodeList) { skills.Add(skillNameNode.Attributes["value"].Value); } ...

If you have obtained the Assembly, you can just iterate over the types and check for your conditions: var matchingTypes = from t in asm.GetTypes() where !t.IsInterface && !t.IsAbstract where typeof(ICustomInterface).IsAssignableFrom(t) let foo = t.GetCustomAttribute<FooAttribute>() where foo != null && foo.Bar == Y select t; I am assuming you want...

It looks like you have a typo in your loop condition: for (int index = filePaths.Count(); filePaths.Count() > 9; index--) It should be for (int index = filePaths.Count() - 1; index > 9; index--) Also note that for the first iteration of loop you're trying to access filePaths[filePaths.Count()] which is...

$http.get is asynchronous. When cache.get or return result are executed, HTTP request has not completed yet. How are you going to use that data? Display in UI? E.g. try the following: // Some View <div>{{myData}}</div> // Controller app.controller('MyController', function ($scope) { $http.get('yoururl').success(function (data) { $scope.myData = data; }); }); You...

Anonymous types do not provide operator overloads for ==, although it wouldn't matter in this case since one of the arguments is typed object. However the C# compiler does provide Equals, GetHashCode, and ToString implementations. Use the static object.Equals, method which will do the appropriate null checks and then call...

Is it true that when you chain string functions, every function instantiates a new string? In general, yes. Every function that returns a modified string does so by creating a new string object that contains the full new string which is stored separately from the original string. There are...

Cancellation in .Net is cooperative. That means that the one holding the CancellationTokenSource signals cancellation and the one holding the CancellationToken needs to check whether cancellation was signaled (either by polling the CancellationToken or by registering a delegate to run when it is signaled). In your Task.Run you use the...

You can ignore pretty much all your code, the issue is just this: XDocument people = new XDocument("Persons"); You can't create an XDocument containing a string, you need to add an element: XDocument people = new XDocument( new XElement("Persons", original.XPathSelectElements(xpathFilterDups))); ...

You can use a Microsoft Setup project or WIX (easily integrate with Visual Studio). Both are free. •You can do almost all of your customization in setup project by adding custom actions. •WIX (window installer xml) is the better option. You can do a complete customization from wix but it...

Declare it as a known type (not an anonymous type), like this for example: Dictionary<int, string> results = new Dictionary<int, string>(); Then you could store the results in the Dictionary: results = behzad.GAPERTitles.ToDictionary(x => x.id, x => x.gaptitle); And reference it later: private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { //...

I don't agree that there is a right layer for you to put that class since you reading values from the config file based on keys provided and it can be needed by one or all of the layers. In the case of all layers using this class, you can...
